SHOW   CASES. 
1.    The  Wyman  Collection. 

Sergeant  John  Wyman  came  to  this  country  in  1679  fr°m  England. 
Land  was  granted  him  that  year  in  the  town  of  Woburn,  Mass.  He 
brought  with  him  the  brass  kettle  and  ladles  in  this  case,  which  were  used 
in  the  family  until  1800. 

Sergeant  Wyman  was  an  officer  in  the  King's  army.  His  son,  Nathan, 
was  the  father  of  Elijah,  who  served  from  the  beginning  of  the  Revolu- 
tion for  two  years,  fighting  for  the  independence  of  the  Colonies. 

The  pewter  is  part  of  that  used  by  the  Wyman  family  previous  to  1770. 
The  china  plates  represent  the  collection  of  108  pieces,  the  property  of 
Elijah  Wyman,  who  was  married  in  1755.  Here  is  the  child's  hat  he  wore 
in  1734  when  four  years  old,  and  the  tall  hat  he  wore  in  1790,  when  sixty 
years  of  age. 

These  relics  were  preserved  by  the  succeeding  generations  of  the  Wy- 
man family,  until  they  came  into  possession  of  George  B.  Dexter,  Elijah 
Wyman's  great-great-grandson,  who  loans  them  to  the  Bostonian  Society.
